Johannesburg - President Jacob Zuma has given notice of his intention to suspend two Deputy National Directors of Public Prosecutions, Advocates Nomgcobo Jiba and Lawrence Mrwebi, from office pending an enquiry into their fitness to hold office.
“The President’s decision follows the recent judgement of the North Gauteng High Court in the matter of the General Council of Bar of South Africa vs Nomgcobo Jiba, Lawrence Sithembiso Mrwebi and Sibongile Mzinyathi in which the court ordered that the names of the two advocates be removed from the roll of advocates,” said the Presidency in a statement on Tuesday.
“The President has requested the two Advocates to provide him with reasons as to why they cannot be suspended pending the outcome of the enquiry into their fitness to hold office.”
The Presidency said after hearing the two Advocates, Zuma will take a decision whether or not to suspend them.
